Orpheus is a great musician who is going to marry this girl, Eurydice, but she gets bitten by a snake and dies! So he goes to the underworld to get her by playing his music which was irresistible, not even Hades could refuse him. He makes a deal with Hades which is he can have her but when they are leaving he mustn't look back at her until they are out of the Underworld. He agrees and they start venturing back. Once he gets into broad daylight he looks back and she is still in the dark. She said farewell and it was over. He was forbidden to go to the Underworld unless he was actually dead. On his way back to his home to weep, he was playing his lyre, until people ran out and ripped him limb to limb.

Orpheus
When Eurydice died Orpheus played such sad songs and sang so mournfully that all the nymphs and gods wept. On their advice, Orpheus traveled to the underworld and by his music softened the hearts of Hades and Persephone.

The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is that Orpheus had a girlfriend named Eurydice. On their wedding day, Eurydice stepped on a snake and died, leaving Orpheus very depressed. Orpheus decided to go down to the Underworld and bring back Eurydice's spirit. Once down there, he played his lyre so beautifully that Hades and Persephone were so moved that they let him bring her ghost back on one condition: to never turn back at the ghost. However, as they were leaving the Underworld, Orpheus looked back to see if Eurydice had made it out as well, but she was still in the Underworld as this was happening, so she was lost this time, forever.
